Thomas Burnett Swann (1928-1976) earned a distinguished reputation
among writers of science fiction, one that caused his enthusiastic
following to nominate him again and again for awards. Unique in his
talent, his novels dealt not with the far future, but with the
enigma of the past. Prior to the dawn of human history, the Earth
did not belong solely to humanity -- there were other intelligent
species still fighting a last-stand battle against extinction.
These are the beings remembered today only in legend, creatures of
the trees and water, beings that combined beast and man, with
strange lore of their own and sciences lost to the human victors.
GREEN PHOENIX is a tour-de-force of the final stronghold of the
prehumans against the last legion of fallen Troy.
"He writes his own golden thing his own way..." --Theodore
Sturgeon, The New York Times
"Swann's neo-romantic fantasies of the past are unique. He uses
the stuff of myth with twists and inventions all his own." --The
Village Voice
After being unavailable for many years, the complete works of
Thomas Burnett Swann are being reprinted by Wildside Press -- all
